The Jeff Ireland Appreciation Thread

Momentum reportedly swung back to the Dolphins earlier in the week, but here's an interesting tidbit from Yahoo Sports Mike Silver: Fisher was willing to meet Dolphins owner Stephen Ross "halfway" on personnel matters, letting general manager Jeff Ireland still retain plenty of power. However, Ross/Ireland reportedly weren't willing to budge and it may have ultimately cost them a chance to land Fisher.

"Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

Maybe it's Rex Ryan's mouth. Seriously though I get why people are upset with Ireland, but I don't get the pure disdain and hate.

I don't think this is hate, just disgust at not doing what needs to be done.

Last year, owner mismanagement cost us Jim Harbaugh, who took over a worse team and went a ridiculous 13-3.

Now we lost the "top" coaching free agent, and who knows what else, for Ireland...and ultimately, owner mismanagement.

And for what, no one was willing to give Cam Wake a contract as big as us, thats why he came here. For every Cam Wake transaction, there's 2 Pat White/Phil Merlings. Ireland has been mediocre. Not horrible, not good, and he's costing us in the much bigger picture.
